The Race Card Is A Joker

The right reverend Jackson is at it again. I am always amazed that people never call his hand on these blatant racist accusations and demagoguery. I don’t know all the facts of this case except what I’ve heard on the news and what I read but it seems to me there is plenty of room for doubt that the stripper is telling the truth. DNA tests have confirmed the players’ contention that nothing happened.

The court will have to decide eventually. In the meantime, Jackson and crew have already decided to step into this mess and stand behind this woman even if she turns out to be lying (his own words). How does Jackson get away with this kind of racist behavior ... ?

Jackson: Rainbow/Push To Pay Woman’s Tuition At N.C. Central
_{Sunday, April 16, 2006}

DURHAM, N.C. (AP)—The Rev. Jesse Jackson said yesterday that his Rainbow/Push Coalition will pay the college tuition of a black woman who told police she was raped by white members of Duke University’s men’s lacrosse team - no matter the outcome of the case.

“I can’t wait ... to talk with her and have prayer with her, because our organization is committed, when she’s physically and emotionally able ... to provide for her the scholarship money to finish school so she will never ... again have to stoop that low to survive,” he said from Chicago in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.

When asked, Jackson also said that his group will pay for the woman’s tuition even if her story proves false. Attorneys for the lacrosse players have strongly denied that any sexual assault took place at the March 13 party, citing DNA tests performed on all 46 of the team’s white members that failed to match any samples taken from the woman.

Defense attorneys have said that they expect the case to go to a grand jury Monday. Jackson said that there is plenty of circumstantial evidence indicating that something happened to the woman, a 27-year-old divorced mother of two who is a student across town from Duke at historically black N.C. Central University. A doctor and forensic nurse who examined the woman found evidence consistent with rape, according to court documents.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
